One of Sandler’s better films in modern years.
If you like Knocked Up, you will more than likely like this film. It has a lot of the same seriousness, minus all the pot jokes and references. Yes, there is a lot of complains about the same type jokes but I barely noticed them. It’s about stand up comedy. All stand up comedians talk about the same thing so anyone who said their are too many obvious jokes has never seen a stand up comedian before. That said this movie is cute, witty, shining, and comical. I cried, I laughed, and loved every second of Laughable People.

Judd Apatow’s Silly People is going to divide audiences (it certainly has divided critics) . Those going in expecting a comedy along the lines of The 40-Year-Old Virgin, Knocked Up or any other of the films in the Apatow-verse will appreciate it but not like it. But that reaction may be more a product of the misdirection in the marketing of the film than anything else. Laughable People is going for something more emotionally complex, and it succeeds on that count.
Without spot on area, the film focuses, by and broad, on the professional and personal lives of a group of comics and droll actors at various rungs of the demonstrate business ladder, from Adam Sandler’s George Simmons, a hugely successful film comedy star who came out of the stand-up comedy world, to Seth Rogan’s Ira Wright, a novice laughable who is drawn into George’s world, to Ira’s friends, who are his roommates, who are his competitors.

The celebrated thread running through these characters is enrage and aggression, both explicit and sublimated. They capture jokes, jobs and women from each other (listed here in order of importance to the comics) . The relationship between the performers and their audiences is similarly complicated (it’s become a cliched observation that comics talk about “killing” the crowd) .
Interestingly, although all the comedians portion this nettle and aggression, it’s only those who journey those sad emotions into similarly sunless comedy that have preserved their spark. The farther the comics stray from their inflame, the worse their comedy – as evidenced by Sandler’s character, who churns out family-friendly claptrap and co-star Jason Schwartzman’s Yo, Jabber!, a self-important sitcom (both brilliantly captured in clips woven into Droll People) .
In Laughable People, comedy is the universal language by which these emotionally-constricted characters communicate. There are awkward hugs and half-hearted attempts at compassion, but the most tender moment, coming tedious in the film, involves one character expressing care for by writing jokes for another.
All this aside, I don’t want to lose study of the fact that this is a amusing, intriguing, emotionally-involving film. But that said, in an unfamiliar contrivance, Laughable People echoes Martin Scorsese’s Raging Bull. Both films are about excited and aggressive people who channel those drives in socially acceptable ways. (Even more oddly, Billy Crystal’s horrific and mawkish Mr. Saturday Night attempted more overtly to be the Raging Bull of comedy, and the less said about that anguish the better.)
It wasn’t until the gallop home from the movie that it occurred to me that the “silly” in the title Amusing People could have two meanings; there’s comic ha-ha, and funny-odd. Here, the people are intentionally, compellingly both.
